Save Flight feature/Resume Flight (general)

Discussion Hub General Discussion

Perhaps requested many times already. Any time we, the end-users, experiences a CTD after committing 12-15 hrs into the sim there is no recourse for the loss of those hours when it comes to our profile ratings. At the moment (whilst using various ACARS) I generally restart at the nearest airport to the last CTD. Take the aircraft back to status (FL) and resume ACARS. However, it’s disappointing seeing at the end of the journey that only the final moments/hours are added to our profile. (So far I’ve lost over 40 hrs).

This is what I reporting from first days of release.

It’s veeeeeery required. I think now that they do voted things because I see also that many users don’t care about this, about FPL save/load and also flights, with weather and time change possibility.

I tried some saved flight, but now with the latest patch, there are no clouds, as I saved the flight

You can save flights from the screen that comes up with you press ‘ESC’ in-flight.

I’ve restored some saved flight with general success. AP state may not be preserved.

Good to know. But more importantly, if during a CTD on a 20 hr flight, I want the comfort to know that at any given stage my flight can be saved throughout the flight. Without that, I’m afirad, all is lost…literately.

I did save many flight before the latest patch
As I said there are no clouds when I load them

I tried to save and reload a flight with the latest version and it was all hay wire. I was flying in the opposite direction to when I saved and all Flight Plan info was gone

The pay version of FSUIPC7 will do this and it does work as well as it can. However, the real problem is that for complex aircraft, some of the state is going to be encapsulated in local variables instead of simvars. Right now, there aren’t any facilities in simconnect that would enable enumerating and tracking lvars. IOW, there the set of state that can be saved is smaller than the set representing total aircraft state.

I agree that this feature is must have, but it may not be quite so simple to implement as it first appears.
